INTRODUCTION

Main features

The digital video recorder records video frommonitoring cameras to its internal hard disk, itcan display the video being displayed on amonitor split into four, nine or sixteenscreens, and it can also display recordedvideo in the same way.

The DSR-3709 can only display split screen video infour or nine screens.

Separately-sold hard disks (80, 160, 250, or300 GB) can be installed to further increasethis large memory capacity.

Complete range of recording and playbackfunctions

Simultaneous recording and playback of video. Timer recording allows recordings to be made at

different times each day. Zoom allows a certain section of live and playback

video to be magnified. Alarm recording allows the actions of intruders to berecorded.

The video from specific cameras can be maskedusing a gray pattern to prevent it being monitored.

Motion sensing can be used with each camera, andalarms can be setup to give priority to the recordingof moving images.

By connecting multiple digital video recorders, it ispossible to perform analog series recording in which,once the capacity of one hard disk is reached,recording continues automatically on the next digitalvideo recorder.

Search function - lets you instantly display the

desired recording. (

P.30) Searching in order of alarm occurrence using alarm

search Searching by thumbnail using alarm search Searching by date/time Searching within the archive area Searching for intruder motion using motion detection

search

Two-level security lock function - lets yourestrict users for data and equipmentmanagement. (

P.89)

Expandable, can be connected to a PC

Recorded video can be copied to CompactFlashcards and CD-R/RW. A built-in LAN terminal provides support for network

control, thus facilitating live monitoring, cameracontrol, playback, searches, and menu setting.

Monitoring can be carried out on two different monitorscreens - namely, the main monitor and monitor 2. Inaddition, the main monitor can be viewed in split-screen mode while the monitor 2 is used for fullscreen viewing or automatic camera selection.

Dome cameras can be controlled by buttonoperations on the digital video recorder.

Images stored on a CompactFlash card can beprinted directly from a printer.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

This section describes how to connect the digital video recorder to video cameras and other devices. Be sure to read theinstruction manuals for each connected device.

Improper connections can result in malfunction or the

emission of smoke.

A separate power supply is required for operation of

each camera.

The following diagram shows the connections for cameras, monitors, a microphone, and a PC.

The RS-485 terminals are used to connect a system

controller (sold separately) to the digital video recorder. After connecting the system controller, you will need to

carry out the settings that are given in the

menu. (P.96)

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS3

12 Engl

Connection

The digital video recorder supports both straight type andcrossed type connection cables.When using a straight type connection cable, connect theRS-485 connector’s pin A to the pin A socket, or pin B tothe pin B socket.When using a crossed type connection cable, connect the

RS-485 connector’s pin A to the pin B socket, or pin B tothe pin A socket.

Cable types

Straight type:

Crossed type:

When connecting multiple devices, you must maketermination settings on both end devices. Set the RS-485 termination switch of both end devices

to ON. Be sure to set the RS-485 termination switches of all

devices in between (devices other than the first and lastdevices) to OFF.

If you don’t make the correct termination settings, theincorrect data will be transmitted to each device.

Audio input from the AUDIO IN terminal and the MIC INterminal cannot be performed simultaneously. If bothterminals have devices connected, the MIC IN terminalis used.

When using external alarms (i.e., intruder sensors and thelike), external switches are to be connected to the ALARM

The SENSOR ALARM OUT terminals are used to relayalarm signals whenever one of the digital video recorder’smotion sensors is triggered. Normally in an open condition,

a terminal adopts low condition when a sensor for thecorresponding camera number has been triggered.

The connections for a remote control circuit are shown

below. This digital video recorder can be remotely controlled

when a remote-control circuit similar to that shown here isconnected to the remote-input control terminals.

Use a resistance of 1/10 ohms or more and with a Dranking (Precision within ±0.5%).

The remote control cable should be no more than 5 mlong.

* The DSR-3709 can operate up to nine cameras (*).

1 When you have finished making all theother connections, make sure the

voltage is 120 V-240 V AC and insert the

power plug into the wall outlet.

There is no power switch. The display indicators flash, and after

a few moments, the monitor screen displays the camera image.

When turning the power on for the first time

“PLEASE SET THE CLOCK” is displayed on the monitorscreen. Follow the procedures on P.17 to set the clock.

If the clock is already set

The operation display area is displayed.

If the POWER indicator starts flashing;

If a problem occurs during use, the POWER indicatorwill begin to flash and an explanation will be displayed.In these cases, contact a Sanyo service center.

The power cord’s ground terminal is not provided forenhanced safety; rather, it can be used to reduce thelevel of interference when the digital video recorder isconnected to analog devices.If a large amount of noise is generated when the digitalvideo recorder is connected to analog devices, connectthis terminal to the building’s earth.

area;

“ARCHIV” is displayed. When an external alarm signal is activated;

“EA” is flashed to the left of the camera number. When a motion sensor alarm signal is

activated;“SA” is flashed to the left of the camera number.

When an external alarm signal and motion

sensor signal are activated;

“ES” flashes to the left of the camera number.

(8) Camera title display

The camera number or camera title is displayed. Inaddition, when an alarm occurs, the camera numberand alarm “EA”, “SA” or “ES” are displayed along withthe camera title.
